Note that this is a new batch and can vary slightly from the previous batch.

This potent Rapè from the Kaxinawa tribe is a blend of Moy Tabaco (Nicotiana Rustica) and ashes from Cumaru bark (Dipteryx odorata). Moy Tabaco is one of the most beautiful of all Rustica types available. The scent is just divine. Moy heightens the senses and helps to put the user into a relaxed state of being. The aftertaste compared to other Tabaco types is sweet and pleasant.

Cumaru is also known as the Tonka bean tree and has a long tradition of being used as a flavourful ingredient in snuffs, sweets, and foods. Yet, Cumaru also contains several bioactive ingredients, including coumarins and triterpenoids.

This Rapè is a light sandy brown colour with a soft texture, it looks somewhat innocent at first inspection however do not let looks deceive you. It is a dark horse! This Rapè is powerful! Initially the user receives a piercing initial jolt to the system, this subsides, some eye watering occurs and heavy phlegm production ensues and whilst some reaches the back of the throat the taste is good! This Rapè brings a great sense of strength and power in the body that is beautifully accompanied by a clearheaded and calm afterglow without too much wobble. A super Rapè and now a favourite in the collection.

This is an extremely fine and dry powder. It takes great effort to produce such a fine powder at a 150 micron fineness. This is our standard because this provides the best Rapé experience. All our products are processed to a high standard and consistent fineness and dryness, using laboratory grade sieves and dehydrating equipment, before packaging.
